Deck Description

Elesh Norn is a beast. Giving all you knights +2/+2 is great on its own, but what makes Elesh Norn shine is giving opponents creatures -2/-2, cancelling out many generals with only one or two toughness. Holds off decks with cheaper, quicker generals with defense and aggression from knights and soldiers, then completely cancelling them out once Elesh Norn gets out. Against decks that have more power based, higher CMC generals, angels come in time to offer a fair defense and due to Elesh Norn, make's them less scary and you more so, allowing you to pressure them back. I have decks for the other Praetors as well, but never really felt like uploading them =/.

Deck discussion for Elesh Norn EDH

Well, you have 2x Mirran Crusader and 2x Order of the Golden Cricket, so take out one of each. I'd add in an Ascendant Evincar and maybe another board sweeper

Oops missed that. Can't use Ascendant since it's black, and are there any more white board sweeps?

why would you use pursteel? you only have a couple of eqiupments. take a look at my mono white deck, it might be of assistance.

It's a 2/2 for WW. That alone is why I threw it in.

And like I said, I'm new to the format so I don't know all the bans.

Riftmarked knight? Also, some allies perhaps? Kazandu blademaster is also a 2/2 for WW, like puresteel, but with FS and vigilance

Riftmarked knight is good, but 2/2 for 3 doesn't fit very well, even though flanking does make it virtually 3/3. I'll test it out a bit and see how well it works. It's not like this deck is very tight for space or anything. I like to keep allies down to a minimum, since my playgroup ended banning slivers already and allies are pretty close to making it there as well =/.

Drop some of the more useless creatures for artifact support. Cards such as caged sun, coat of arms and citanul flute are amazing in a mono-colour creature based deck. Also run creatures such as fiend hunter that are capable of taking out threats. And some protection for your general wouldnt go amiss, I find people arent happy to have all creatures at -2/-2
